CRITIC REVIEWS
Genre: Big Beat
Just want to get this out of the way, Rockafeller Skank, Right Here, Right Now, absolute classics. Really big staples of the genre...they're not that good tho.
Like don't get me wrong, I love em and think they're great to listen to. But they're not that good song wise, they're incredibly repetitive and a bit irritating and I feel the only reason they've held up this long is that they're the ultimate ear worms.

Ahhhhhhh, this is annoying. I do not like fatboy slim for his football supporting antics, but ima have to give credit where credit is due cause this album, is pretty fucking good
One of the greatest big beat records not only of the 90s but in general. A few less impactful cuts on this but overall very engaging
Fatboy Slim delivers some of the best beats of the 90s, with tracks like Gangster Trippin, Right Here Right Now, and The Rockafeller Skank demonstrating incredible proficiency with sampling. The middle of the album becomes repetitive quickly, however the album finishes strong with Praise You and Love Island.
When it dives into more familiar territory for techno/house at the time, the album gets pretty boring. With that said, the parts that do stand out are so satisfying to listen to that anything less than a 70 would feel wrong.
